1t is only necessary TO add that the actual
revenue for five months Of the current year
ending with November has been Sll,2OO 900
more than the revenue for the same months
Of the last fiscal year, so that
the Secretary allows for practically
no increase during the remaining
seven months Of this year, though the increase
IN five months has been 50 important, and for
no increase at all next year. No competent
hnancicr If either party. for twenty years past,
has ignored thc fact that the revenue naturally
tends to grow with the population. Unless
panic and pros ration Of business come, it is
about as certain as any future event can be
that the revenue will continue to increase, If
the laws remain unchanged. Apparently
therefore, the Secretary has for some reason
sought 10 make the revenue appear as small rs
be possibly could As To the expenditures,
they are governed by appropriation bills, which
for the present year are so 100000 less than
for The last fiscal year. 1t would be interesting
to know how the expenditure is going to be
made greater than that Of last year. and the
Secretary does not explain. Moreover, he as
stlmcs that Congress VIII appropriate for the
next year, not only The unusual amount cN-
pended last year but over SlOOOO,OOO more.
1t is IN this fashion that the estimates are
reached which make the surplus 500 900. 900
for the current and SGT. 700 600 fer the next
year, after meeting the demand Of the sinking
fund. Mr.. Iairchhd admits a doubt whether
bonds for that fund can be- purchased at reason
able rates. But he insists that the attempt
should be made; that is, the Treasury should
havc on hand ) lsOOO,O 900 for that purpose, 50
that. if the Secretary considers offers OF bonds
unsatisfactory. he can loan TO banks that large
sum, in addition to the Sl2 900 900 deposited
in banks .lrcady.
The assumption that tho surplus cannot be
avoided except by reduction Of protective
duties is plainly unwaIiantcd. Taking Mr..
Iairchids figures for the sur iuS, il also al-
pears from his report chat S5H,OlG,Gs6 WIS
derived last year from sugar duties alone, and
the removal Of that one tax woGll clear away
the whole surplus for ncNt year. Again. the
same report shows that the tax on tobacco
yielded $50 100000 and the import duties
which are needed cliy 10 protect the internal
tax on tobacco-S9. 1OOO 600 more. The re
moval Of these taxes, with free spirits for
manuia featuring purposes only. would clear away
Mr.. Fairchilds surplus without touching The
sugar duties. The prctcncr that revenue from
protective duties must be cut down. because
there IS no other way to got nd Of the surplus.

The Boy as a Financial Investment.

"My father never did anything
for me-" recently remarked a
young man who, few weeks ago,
finished his school life and is now
seeking a good business opening.
Judging by the words and the
complaining tone in which they
were uttered, the member of the
firm who heard them is prone to
believe that the young mans idea
of "doing something" is an out
right gift of $1,000 in a lump, or
the purchase of a partnership in
an established concern. This young
man, to the knowledge of the
writer, has never done one months
actual work for others in his entire
life. HIS life has been passed in
the pleasantest pastimes of the
home circle, in reading, study,
hunting, fishing, ball-playing,
yachting and other employments
not particularly beneficial to 9TH
ers. He is type Of that class
of boys whose parents are suffi-
ciently well-to-do to keep servants
to attend the household drudgery,
and whose fathers follow voca-
tons in which no use can be made
of the boys spare hours. Like
most boys of his class he looks
upon his board and clothes for
twenty years, together with his
pony, jewelry, bicycle, etc., as
matters of course. The writer,
while the complaining remark was
still ringing in his ears, had the
curiosity to make a conservative
compilation of what it costs to
raise an ordinary boy for the first
twenty years of his life, and here
it is:
slo0 per year for the first five years. SCI
$50 per year for the second i've years 40
500 per year for the third five years. l COO
$500 per year for the next three years. 800
$500 per year for the next two years. ,0oO
Total
Yes, this is a moderate estimate
of the financial balance against the
boy who complains that his father
has never done anything for him.

THE CONVICTION OF O'NEIL.

There is especial cause for generalization In
the conviction of cx-Aldcrman ONcil for his
part in tho Broadway Railway steal. He has
made himself the most offensive of all the
members of the celebrated combine" Re
elected as a member of the Board for 1855, he
retained his place as chairman of the Finance
Committee and as a member Of the Sinking
Fund Commission up to the first of the present
year, although after the conviction Of his
associates, if possessed of a spark Of public de-
cency he ought to have been willing to retire
until his own trial had taken place. This he
not only refused to do but he voluntarily TOOK
the stand and perjurcd himself to save Nc luade
when that individual declined TO be sworn on
his own behalf ONeil has also continued an
active member of the County Democracy, and
has seemingly taken pains to keep himself be-
fore tho public. His conviction is therefore
cause for special thanks
1t is also gratifying, because in this case the
defence has probably reached the limit OF IN
genuity. The eleventh hour testimony of Mrs
McLoughn whose husband was a leader in
the combine though supported by her
cousin, was so improbable that the jury evil
dently gave it little consideration. Judge Bar
IttGS Ciidl Bc NIu Hlulu w sNScp away viz w"
webs raised by tho defendants counsel. The
usual effort is. of course, to be made to get
new trial, but by this time the "boodleIs
must be satisfied that justice in their cases is
not to be thwartcd. O'Neil will join Jachne
and McQuade in Sing Sing, and .hcir asso-
ciates who are not safe in Canada may be en-
pected to Join them without unnecessary delay.
New York has reason to be proud of the record
the Distlict-Attomcy and the courts have made
IN these cases.

CHANCES ZOE WAR.

The foreign exchanges are again pointing
in the war quarter. In Paris there are remark
able fluctuations in ientos. and in Vienna the
financial situation bears n strong resemblance
10 the panic which followed the declaration OF
war between Russia and Turkey ten years ago.
The Austrian and Hungarian Delegations are
TO be asked to vote extraordinary credits for
the standing army and reserve. This seems
10 be the only new fact. and 1t does not adc-
ouately explain the panic in the two exchanges.
Increased ornaments i'll that quarter would
possess more Significance if there were not
marked signs of Improvement in the bulgarian
situation Recent news from Russia has been
uniformly pacific. There are evidences OF con-
citation and comp omsc. The Bulgarian ques-
ton is apparently approaching solution, and
the chances Of war in Southeastern Europe have
diminished. Increased military expenditures
on the part of Aus ria-llungary probably in
vove the cost Of the introduction of Mauscr
rifles and other improved arms The probabll-
tiles of hostihtics in that quarter have steadily
decreased since Prince Alcxandcr's abdi cation.
IL is from Berlin that the most alarming
rumors of war are received and there Is q
political explanation for them. The genera
elections are approaching. Prince Bismarck
for purely elcctioneering purposes may lie max
ing free use Of the possibilities OF war; The
increase of the army was the test question on
which the Rechstag was dissolved. Inc alarm
ing state Of Europe is the chief argument en-
ployed by the factions that are supporting HIM
The National Liberals arc flooding the con-
stituencics with manifestocs "a warllkc as those
issued by them in 1866 and 1870. The
official press publishes frantic appeals to the
patriotism Of the country, and exaggerated ac-
counts of the dangerous tendencies OF French
Chauylnism. Prince Bismarck may not be
playing upon the fears Of the German Elector-
ale. That would bc certainly desperate game.
The crisis may bc as mOmcntous as his scrvlle
body of press retancrs represent Ncvcrlhc-
les. the elections are to be taken into account.
The utility of the war "scarc " as a good work
ing political issue is apparent. Chauvin4n
NAV be ga good enough Morgan until after the
election" When the Reichstag rcasscmbles
the peace Of Europe may be confidently pre-
dcted from the throne.
General Boulangcrs ascendency IN France
remains, however, a distinct source OF danger.
JIo has made himself national hero by re-
organizing the army and imparung an I'M
petus to the spirit Of militarlsm, once dom

on a war; Is it necessary for him to do this
in order to retain his present prestige and i'm
portance Whoever can answer these two
questions has it within his power to forecast
